The Peter John Ramos tour is coming to a city near you
Now that Ramos’ season is officially over, he is doing a coast to coast tour of the US to get in as many workouts as possible before the draft next week. He started off in Miami right after being invited to the Moody Bible camp in Chicago for his first ever NBA workout, and then flew up to the West coast for 3 workouts with Seattle (Thursday), Golden State (yesterday), and Portland (today).
People in Miami said that he’s a little further away then they initially thought, although it’s easy to forget that he just recently turned 19 when watching him play in person against professionals. David Harrison was just too polished and motivated for him; the same can be said about Ales Chan who had a lot to prove as well.
The Seattle workout was extremely impressive according to people in the gym, as he dominated Pavel Podkolzine in almost all the one on one and big man drills, while conceding some of the transition and shooting drills. One scout (not necessarily from Seattle) joked off the record that “Pavel is the type of guy that you lose your job over” because of how raw he has looked in workouts so far. Pavel was scheduled to meet up with Ramos for a rematch in Portland, but that will not happen for unknown reasons.
Ramos will continue to fly around the country for a workout every day leading up to the draft. His next stops (in order): Utah, Toronto, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia. Ramos says he doesn’t know who he will be going up against there and he doesn’t care either; he will play against anybody in order to prepare himself for the challenge of the NBA next year.

Also some notes about Snyder and Jr Smith.
